A Moveable Feast

Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast captures what it meant to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s. Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at the beginning of Europe's cultural transformation. During these years, Hemingway and other notable artists and writers gathered in Paris, reflecting the city as he knew it as a young, struggling writer honing his craft. The book features reflections on his encounters with other writers and artists, serving as an elegy to that remarkable expatriate community and a testament to the writer's life.
